Re: Ingenio, Filiale De Loto-Quebec, Inc. v. GTECH Corporation,
Civil Action No. 04-134-KAJ
Dear Judge Jordan:
As counsel for Defendant GTECH, I write on behalf of both parties to jointly request a
modification of the September 3, 2004 Scheduling Order entered in this case. The proposed
modification to the Scheduling Order, which, Subj ect to the Court’s approval, has been stipulated
and agreed to by the parties, extends the schedule by 90 days. The reasons for the proposed
extension are explained below. A proposed Amended Scheduling Order is enclosed herewith for
the Court’s reference and consideration.
The parties have been actively engaged in settlement discussions and, in fact, have
voluntarily entered into mediation. An all—day, private mediation session with counsel and
settlementrepresentatives of each party, was held on March 23, 2005. While a settlement did
not result from that mediation, the parties intend to continue to discuss settlement and will
engage in another mediation session with the Magistrate Judge on April 22, 2005. During the

time period that this mediation process has been taking place, the parties have concentrated their
efforts on settlement through this avenue and have not pursued discovery in the hopes that the
need for such discovery, and the attendant cost and expense, would be obviated by a mutually
agreeable settlement of this matter. The Scheduling Order in place currently sets the close of
fact and expert discovery for September 30, 2005. The parties are concerned since this schedule
does not provide sufficient time to complete discovery, should this case not resolve on or before
the next mediation session. ln light of this, the parties are jointly requesting the proposed
modified schedule.
Since the proposed extension will impact previously scheduled dates including the trial
date, we respectfully request the opportunity to discuss this request with the Court in a
teleconference to be held at the Court’s convenience.
We thank the Court for its consideration of the above.
Respectfully submitted,
